OLED stands for organic light emitting diode and over recent years this technology has become more popular. OLEDs consume less power than traditional LED and have a larger viewing field.
Most technology applications of OLEDs are focused around displays such as cell phones and televisions but here’s a look at other developments using OLED technology:

//PANELS// currently a company is developing flexible sheets of OLED lights. But of course since this is a new technology original prices are high. These flexible plastic sheets can be used within architecture and automobiles. But person as a design student if I was to get one of these sheets I would use it as a roll-up light table. To me that’s a much smarter idea.
//GLASSES// Oxford Univerisity researchers are developing glasses that have transparent OLEDs for frames. These glasses would project the image seen in front of the viewer with better clarity for the visually impaired.
//RULERS// Researchers at MIT have created a ruler that uses a clear OLED panel and a digital software that interacts with what the user draws. The user could draw a triangle lay the transparent OLED display over the drawing and the software could recognize what is drawn and measure the angles for the user.
